Intro and progression between chorus and verse: Em7, A7, C, B7
Em7
We walk hand in hand 'til life does us part
A7
Me and the world, my scum sweetheart
C
We met long ago with a flirt and a stare
B7
Together ever since, a lethal love affair
Em7
I tried to get out, to get up and go
A7
I was afraid of the fall, the vertigo
C
You made me suffer, guilt was your game
B7
You had control of what I became
Em7
A rotten romance if I'd stayed I'd die
A7
T'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye
C
Now I'm free, on solid ground
B7
No more of you pushing me around
Em7
You're the world, full of lies
A7
How could I think of compromise?
C
It seems to me a solitaire affair
B7
I was in need, but you didn't care
Em7
Please stay away, heartbreaker
A7
You're not gonna be my soul taker
C
I've got friends that wanna see you
B7
They'd stay away if they had a clue
-Repeat chorus-
Em7
It's a black heart that I see
A7
It's evil, it's bad and all in between
C
Whatever it is I'll do my part
B7
To keep you from being their scum sweetheart
-Repeat chorus-
end on Em7
